Israel DMW Challenges Edo's Ability to Deliver Votes for Tinubu

Israel Afeare, also known as Israel DMW and Davido’s logistic manager, stated that it is impossible for the Governor of Edo State, Monday Okpebholo, to deliver 2.5 million votes for President Tinubu. Afeare made this assertion in an Instagram post on a Friday.

He referenced the former governor of Edo State, Adam Oshiomhole, who, despite his popularity, could not secure Edo State for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in previous elections. Afeare emphasized that Oshiomhole, who won all 18 local government areas during his tenure, could not deliver even 500,000 votes for his party in two presidential elections.

He reiterated his stance when contacted by Punch, stating that historical voting patterns in Edo indicate that only slightly above 500,000 people typically vote. Afeare concluded that even with an increase in voter turnout, it is unrealistic to expect 2.5 million votes, and not all voters would support the APC.
